Family Fights Ghastly Crash Pics on Web

The other day I was on my AOL home page going to check my email and I saw this picture of a pretty high school girl and saw the headline "Family Fights Ghastly Crash Pics on Web" and I started to read the article. "Now, 2 ½ years after the fatal accident, Christos and Lesli Catsouras are still confronted by horrifying images of Nikki's death that are circulating on the Internet, Newsweek magazine reports."

The article talks about how they young girl Nikki was killed in a car crash back on Halloween day in 2006. She had taken her father's Porsche 911 Carrera without permission because her car was taken away from her. According to police reports, Nikki was traveling 100 mph on State Route 241, when she struck another car and lost all control of the car, ultimately slamming into a concrete tollbooth. She died instantly.

As is routine in fatal accidents, the California Highway Patrol took photos of the crash which did include gruesome images showing Nikki's nearly decapitated head covered in blood. Authorities never showed these photos to Nikki's family because they new it would be too upsetting for Christos and Lesli Catsouras to see their daughter's body.

Two CHP officers leaked the photos and quickly they began circulating over the Internet, turning up on everything from pornography sites to social networking services. Nikki's grieving father couldn't even avoid the pictures. A few Days after the crash, the real estate developer opened an e-mail that he believed was a property listing and instead found a grisly photo of his daughter's body.

In my opion this is very upsetting and is not o. I am glad that Nikki's family is fighting to get who ever leaked the photos introuble. At least they have released their daughters senior picstures that way all of her friends and family have something better to remember her by. I was intrusted and did google her name, and instently on the first page pictures of her crash and decapitated head poped up, and it was very upsetting.
